    Game is text-heavy, as you would expect. Yet game doesn't offer any means to increase text size until it becomes readable. That basic failure requires so low an intelligence that you would wonder why the game maker even tried to make a strategy game. Anyway, it cannot physically be played, so the intrinsic value of the software is simply zero. Mind you, even the art is too small to beGame is text-heavy, as you would expect.

Anyway, it cannot physically be played, so the intrinsic value of the software is simply zero. Mind you, even the art is too small to be appreciated, with no zoom available. Double zero.
    Funny thing is, the original version was actually playable, back in the days of low resolutions. In other words, we are supposed to pay for downgrades.    … Expand

    Games like this are all about choice. And that’s what Space Colony does brilliantly. There’s so much choice, but it never threatens to overwhelm, it’s all very controlled, and with so much choice, there’s no limit to how often you can replay this game, and how differently you can do things.

    I expected more new content from the third edition of Space Colony, but it’s still a good game that will keep tycoon fans happy with numerous possibilities of colony expansion, varied game modes and a decent campaign. [08/2015, p.59]

    It's nice to get this classic game on Steam, but it clearly shows its age in terms of graphics and, more than anything, limited artificial intelligence.
